#fuckreality
Full immersion! The exhibition
#fuckreality opens doors to virtual worlds.
The image is omnipresent: Entranced people staring
at displays on their televisions, smartphones, tablets, or computers. The launch into a new era of virtuality is in full swing,
and innovations in virtual reality technologies are pushing forward in great strides. In the exhibition #fuckreality at the
Kunstraum Niederoesterreich focuses on a topic that the art world often ne-glects because it is stigmatised by associations
with Hollywood productions and the globalised taste of the masses. Is it even possible to counter the commercial interests
of Google & Co and reveal new modes of perception?
#fuckreality presents artistic positions that explore and
ques-tion the promises of the digital world. Alexandra Schantl, Martin Kusch, and Ruth Schnell have curated this exhibition
which features the work of artists who graduated from or teach at the De-partment of Digital Art at the University of Applied
Arts Vienna.
